Ok we count on that the Hart rate monitor was not malfunctioning, while it’s difficult to comment upon each individual case, unusual heart-rate fluctuations or sudden jump in Hart rate experienced by athletes could be Hart palpitations which are common in athletes, which is usually felt as a regular pounding or racing of the heart, when you feel your puls you can feel there is more action than usual.

Mostly there is nothing to worry about (puhh), but some do require further specialist investigations when you feel dizzy or you near pass out. Palpitations mostly result from a premature contraction of the heart muscle, which causes the symptoms mentioned we talked about above. The premature contractions are normally short-lived, the heart quickly returns to its normal rhythm after maybe 5 – 60 sec..

NOW here are our research in some cases, when you run and you are near you max. hart rate, maybe 80-90% and you have been going for about at least 10 min, we have tested that some who where removing there sweat from above there eyebrows with there whole arm, that there Hart rate suddenly jumps from 182 to about 220/230 for about 10-20 sec.

The reason is that your Hart suddenly have to pump harder to get blood into your arm and as soon your arm is down again your hart rate slowly calm down. Sometimes it can be so simple, so instead getting pills or 1000 tests, think logic first.

What is a Strain? – A sprain is an injury to a ligament, the tough, fibrous tissue that connects bones to other bone. Ligament injuries involve a stretching or a tearing of this tissue.

What is a pull? – well I dont have to explain that I think.

These injuries often occur during a sudden change of direction while running and quick starts and stops. These injuries are especially common in field or court sports.

How to Treat a Groin Pull

For immediate relief of a groin pull, you have to Rest, ice, compression and elevation (R.I.C.E) are the best immediate treatment for pulls and strains. Avoid fast running or changing direction  activities for the first 1 to 2 weeks and gradually return to sports. I recommend 2 days rest, then do some light running if pain is coming, then stop and ice, but I think it is important to kep somewhat active, so there is always some blood circulation, so the Groin gets the Nutrition for repair.

Once activity is started again, ice the muscle after exercise to reduce any swelling. After applying the ice, wrap the thigh to keep it compressed.

When inflammation subsides, you can start with gentle groin stretching and progress to a strengthening program of low-intensity exercises.

Running may be started during recovery, but it should be gentle, gradual and not include hill or sprint work. Pay attention to signs of pain or increased tenderness, and reduce exercise if any develops. Stretch gently and never force a stretch. A return to activity should be possible within two or three weeks.

How to treat a groin strain:

Apply ice to the injured area in the acute phase (first 48 hours after injury), and then after activities. Ice will help calm the inflammatory response.

It is important to rest following the injury to allowed the injured muscle to properly heal, I think 2 days you should take a pause. Allow pain to guide your level of activity; this means that activities which cause symptoms should be avoided, if pain is felt stop and ice.

Stretching is helpful, but it should not be painful. Stretching excessively can be harmful and slow down the healing process. Before activities, gentle heating can help loosen the muscle.

Apply a heat pack to the groin prior to stretching or exercising.

A balance of magnesium is vital to the well being of all organisms. Magnesium is a relatively abundant ion in the lithosphere and is highly bio available in the hydrosphere. This ready availability, in combination with a useful and very unusual chemistry, may have led to its usefulness in evolution as an ion for signalling, enzyme activation and catalysis. However, the unusual nature of ionic magnesium has also led to a major challenge in the use of the ion in biological systems. Biological membranes are impermeable to Mg²⁺ (and other ions) so transport proteins must facilitate the flow of Mg²⁺, both into and out of cells and intracellular compartments.

Now we could talk about the whole Sore Muscles story, but here I will just write about Magnesium and Sore muscles, be cause its a very importantant element in fighting sore muscles, but I will also say this, when you are doing a new training of any kind, like you start with football again or new sets in a fitness Center you will get sore muscles and you can not do anything about it, of cause I count on you you train to the fullest .

Now the important thing here, only take max. 400-500mg of Magnesium, if you take more it can quickly come out the other way, i do it so, 200mg in my sports drink and 200-300mg after football training. I will soon write a little about all the tricks against sore muscles.

all ways remember its just suggestions here we all function in different ways.
